Partnering with Families of Young Children Transitioning into Public Pre-K and K

Partnering with Families of Young Children Transitioning into Public Pre-K and Kindergarten focuses on strategies for partnerships between families and early childhood professionals to support young children during the transition from early intervention services into the public school system. This series helps participants develop skills to effectively communicate and collaborate with families of young children with special needs on topics ranging from IFSP / IEP development to procedures for accessing community resources. Partnering with Families of Young Children Transitioning into Public Pre-K and Kindergarten is built on the Massachusetts Family, School and Community Partnership Fundamentals as a guide for participants to examine their own family engagement practice and develop strategies for enhancing engagement opportunities for all children and families when transitioning into their public school preschool or kindergarten programs.
